Popular Kaduna-based  Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to discuss with the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Speaking with DailyPost, the controversial cleric urged the government to sit with the proscribed Biafra group to get peace in the southeast.

Sheikh Gumi stated that the government should be frank in negotiating with the Nnamdi Kanu group.

He said: “Government should try to be frank and engage even with IPOB’s people. Government should call them ‘you come and sit down let’s talk, what is your problem’.

“Government should call them for a dialogue; see nobody doubts Nigeria. The problem is that the government is not being considerate even with these herdsmen.”

Recall that the Buhari government had proscribedIPOB, describing it as a terrorist group seeking to break up Nigeria with force.

Kanu and his group have been advocating for the actualization of Biafra.
